balsa had linked against libgtkhtml-3.1.so.10 and evolution against
libgtkhtml-3.1.so.11.

This is because balsa was built into fc3-HEAD which has release 10 of gtkhtml
and fc3 has release 11. balsa was built in fc3-HEAD. It appears builds in
fc3-HEAD are exported to rawhide and thus rawhide has an inconsistent package
set, some from fc3 and some from fc3-HEAD. I don't know how to resolve this
build and export inconsistency that appears to have occurred (it appears the
buildroots between fc3 and fc3-HEAD are different but fc3-HEAD builds are still
being exported to rawhide and fc3 is locked).

In the near term I think you have two possible work arounds.

remove balsa since it does not appear you're using it (rpm -e balsa) this will
remove the dependency on release 10 the library.

or

do an install rather than an upgrade which should allow both releases the
libgtkhtml library to simultaneosuly coexist thus satisfying both dependencies.
